Not my favorite of the series:(
Between the whole not related by blood and don't think of each other that way the family tree is freaking me out, I feel like its the same way authors write men calling each other "brother" when they have a big fat crush on each other. Also, the age gap is stressing me out, like silvers explained it away but anything over three years when you've known each other since you were kids is kind of freaky. It all felt a little high school but i think that may just have been because theyre both 10 years younger than the previous couples it felt weird putting a younger couple in a completely different setting in the middle of the series.
BESIDES that, they are a sweet couple, and its a pretty classic hallmark situation and Elsie did it well like all her other books I'm praying we get a beau book.......
